Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide

Introduction
About this guide
The purpose of the Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide is to
provide a reference for the various facets of the MICR
environment within the context of the Xerox MICR printing
products. This document does not contain specific information
on individual Xerox MICR printers.
Since the printing of MICR documents involves application and
operational considerations not normally associated with any of
the standard Xerox printing systems, this document provides
principles and guidelines to ensure successful MICR printing.
This document has been developed with the assumption that
readers have knowledge of standard Xerox printing systems
products, and the skills to develop applications and job source
libraries.
The Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide contains the following
chapters and appendices:
Chapter 1: Overview. Describes MICR, its historical
background, and the printing and processing procedures for the
MICR document.
Chapter 2: Environment. Examines the types of applications
that use MICR, trends within the industry, and typical MICR
printing methods and concerns.
Chapter 3: Paper facts. Identifies paper grades and properties
required for MICR printing, and describes paper maintenance
procedures.
Chapter 4: Document design. Describes the standard format,
features, and requirements of a check document.
Chapter 5: Document processing. Examines the common
types of reader sorter technology and the way these systems
function.
